All but the last part. (Depending on what "80% discharge
means.) If you mean to "recharge the battery from its 20% depth
of discharge (80% f capacity) back to 100%, then that is about
right.
But if you were saying 80% discharge (20% of battery capacity
remaining, and then trying to make up the full top 80% in one
day, then you will be sepnding 4 times what you need on solar
panels.
Just making sure we are not missinterpreting...
